Kumquat They didn’t buy Bethesda- they bought Zenimax Studios who own Bethesda (and lots of other stuff).
I would say yes, it’s a really smart move TBH - they’ve went from having 5 of their own studios to about 20 over the last week with acquisitions and Bethesda includes some of the most beloved gaming franchises (Fallout, Doom, Dishonoured).
They’ll either release multiplatform anyway (so even if you buy Sony, they still get paid) or they’ll put everything on Gamepass and market the fuck out of ’it’s 5 quid a month on Xbox, it’s 70 quid a game on Playstation’, or, they’ll just not release anything on Playstation which would be a big dint in Sony’s armor for sure - You’ll cut dev time and get higher quality games if they only have to develop on one platform for sure.
Great move imo - put it this way - I was a Sony boy for sure - now I think I’m going to have to get both.
